Becker Bosses the Table

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

It's a star-studded rail following the final encounter with Justin Bonomo and Dan Smith siding with Scott Seiver while Christoph Vogelsang rails Johannes Becker in the German booth.

Vogelsang has now more reasons to smile as Becker just won another pot against Seiver to pull further ahead.

Seiver drew two on the first draw in a hand of 2-7 Triple Draw and Becker took three. He fired a shell in position and Seiver called before discarding two. Becker drew one and fired again, getting a call again.

Seiver then changed one and Becker stood pat. Seiver checked one more time but finally gave up to Becker's final bet.

Becker Slowly Grinds It Up

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Johannes Becker is winning small but key pots and slowly increasing his stack. He's currently playing 1.2 million after a streak of hands against Scott Seiver which saw him claim a few bets.

Becker raised in A-5, then drew one on the first two draws and fired after both of them. Seiver called on both occasions, drawing two and one, respectively. Becker patted the last draw and Seiver took one again. The river was checked and Becker locked it up with {A-}{4-}{5-}{6-}{8-}.

Badugi

Scott Seiver raised on the button and Johannes Becker made it three bets in the small blind. Seiver called and took two, with Becker taking one.

Becker kept the lead and bet the next two rounds as each player drew one both times. On the end, it went check-check and Becker's {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} three-card was good for the pot.
